Ok I think I may have officially caught the bug!! Is it normal that when I just got an unexpected tax refund the first thing I thought was great I can now treat myself to some new trainers and get a treadmill to go in “The son that has not left Home”’s vacant room?!?
I love running outside, but I know myself too well and absolutely HATE winter, so at least with a treadmill in the house I will have no excuses in the week. Weekend will not be a problem, but dark cold and wet? Ain’t gonna happen!! 😜

Haha! You've got it bad. But Oldfloss is right, winter running is fab. After Autumn it's my favourite time of year. Just wear the right gear and away you go. But you'll have to get used to dripping nose syndrome 😏
Well you do need something to put in STHNLH's room 😉
Whilst I don't have much winter running experience I do have plenty of rain experience! I love it and am looking forward to chilly morning runs when the cold weather arrives.
You can have my treadmill, it's cr*p!! Mind you it was relatively cheap. I have to run on it in an un-natural way (or maybe I'm just a messy runner!! ) so make sure you get one that's decent. Although I'm not sure home ones are that decent. I want a tax rebate! I fancy some trail trainers....
Lol...well if you have the bug then I must have it because I bought my Fitbit with my tax rebate a few weeks ago!!!! There’s no cure for it either..apparently!!
I love the idea of the 'son who has not left' having a vacant room, soon to be filled with a treadmill....
Polly we do whatever we have to, I am now feeding a music and app download habit, I am allowed one download per run completed. Trouble is antet and Razouski keep telling me about new music I need. Yes you read that right, NEED.
I'm definitely in Runners Downloads Anonymous aka The Retro Runners. I now need (NEED) some Spandau Ballet (I think), and Baggy Trousers by Madness after watching a programme on BBC 4 on TOTP. 😂😂😂
And they what about Don't Tell Me by Blancmange?, jancanrun?
So Spandau for sure and Madness including Embarrassment and Blancmange ooh I'd forgotten about them... you two are filling up my wish list nicely. Oh and for the sake of New Romantic balance I am wondering why I never ever had any Boy George/Culture Club... how did that happen. Considering at one time I had the full frilly shirt and knickerbockers look.OMG how tragic was that..glad Instagram and phone cameras weren't around then...
That’s made me laugh...I was actually adding songs to my playlist on my phone when I was watching totp2!!! I’ve got ‘lip up fatty’ on mine now, that makes me laugh when it comes up...especially if I’m running past the greasy spoon or MacDonalds!!!
Winter running is wonderful. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it last year as a newbie runner, but it's lovely when it's all crispy and bright.
You're welcome to join Retro Runners - group for the running playlist download addicts😉
Irish John and Donna Summer not a married couple you understand but he just mentioned disco diva Donna, I have to have her too.. list grows even longer
So this weeks ,downloads are The Cult, BoneyM and SimpleMinds thanks to antet and you Razouski . Oh and I'm sneaking in Donna too, to make up for nasty man on bike today,
